DirecTV Error 775 (SAGA CONTINUES)

[Belgique]

DirecTV Genie with TravLer

Last night everything fine. Not touched during the day. Turned it on and get the 775 error.

• Checked every coax
• Checked power inserter-have green light
• swapped power inserter
• re aimed Travler...at least tried to but it can't find the satellites! Keeps searching. Wide open field and has worked fine for 4 days.

Also pulled power and rebooted HR44-200.

Could it be a bad LNB?

OP here. Didn't want folks to think I posted and disappeared. Got the new LNB and installed it. Travler just spun around looking. Still get 775. Moved to New location today. It couldn't find a bird and for the first time says "No LNB voltage". Im gussing i need to continuity/voltage check all the coax.

Enroute Lazy Days Tampa for a rally and will get on the roof there. Will report.

No, I have not had any HDCP issues as I have a Trav'ler (DirecTV original hardware) and an HDMI directly from the HR54 Genie to the TV.

I can't remember. Which Trav'ler do you have? The older SK-3005 with the SWM8 hardware upgrade or the newer (2014 or newer) SK-SWM3?

The newer one. Got it in Feb'17. The LNB is a SL3S4NR2-14

One of my receivers showed that a reset was required. Maybe yours did it automatically and then needed to be reset to multi-switch. What model receiver do you have?

Don't know anything about the Traveler but my receiver, when the power goes off, will reset to swm and I need to reset to multi-switch when powered back on.

Either a 775 or 771 error.

As Bill said, that's only for local service. Your other channels will be fine. Supposedly DTV doesn't like it if people change their service address too often.

I don't need a meter anymore. Beeps are back.

X2 with Bill.Satellite: all my DirecTV channels (202 and up) come in no matter where I am (AZ, for instance). For networks, I just put up the Batwing and aim it. All my "services": (Ant,Cable, Sat, DVD player) go thru a passive switchbox. Just push the button you want.
Why would one want, for instance the Philly weather when in Phoenix?

Just what I do. And....i have just the basics: tripod,dish,strength meter and compass. Take the box out of the house and put it in the RV. Pay the bill every month, ask no questions tell DTV nothing. And that = no problems.

[Bill_Satellite]

There is no reason at all to call DTV when you change locations UNLESS you are also trying to get the local Network channels (ABC, NBC, etc.).

I can't remember if it's 775 or 771 that I get when I move to a new park, but I have to call Direct TV each time I move to give them my new 'service address',the address to the park I'm at. I wasn't made aware of that when I got the dish, but it corrects the issue every time.

[Bill_Satellite]

It's certainly the Trav'ler as the Trav'ler will lock on even if the receiver is disconnected. You are not locking on. LNB and coax are the most likely issues but it could be the power inserter as well.
It could also be the electronics inside the Trav'ler but let's hope it's not.
